Sanders Calls for Congressional Rejection of $10.1 Billion Aid to Israel, Denouncing ‘Brutal War’ on Palestinians
Senator Bernie Sanders has urged Congress to reject the proposed $10.1 billion in unconditional military aid for Israel, arguing that it would support the continuation of what he calls a “brutal war” against the Palestinian people. Sanders explicitly stated, “NO MORE U.S. funding for Netanyahu’s illegal, immoral, brutal, and grossly disproportionate war against the Palestinian people.”

Expressing a clear stance, Sanders urged Congress to reject the proposed funding, declaring, “Enough is enough.” He emphasized that American taxpayers should not be contributors to what he perceives as the devastation of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza.
